Mercy Corps

We are a multi-mandate organization that provides access to humanitarian aid, development, and peace assistance in places affected by fragility and crisis.
In more than 40+ countries around the world, over 6,000+ team members work side by side with people living through poverty, disaster, violent conflict, and the acute impacts of climate change. Mercy Corps is committed to creating global change through local impact — 95% of our team members are from the countries where they work.

At Mercy Corps, we seek solutions to the world’s toughest challenges. To take on the consequences of conflict and climate change, we bring together bold ideas and the lived experience of people who know their communities best—scaling what works to achieve lasting, transformational change.

We work towards four connected and reinforcing outcomes that determine people’s wellbeing and support them to cope, adapt, and thrive:

- Food Security: People are well-nourished at all times, with access to sustainably produced, safe, and nutritious food.

- Water Security: People have equitable and sustained access to clean and safe water to meet their everyday needs.

- Economic Opportunities: People grow and sustain their assets and income.

- Peace and Good Governance: People reduce or prevent violence, contribute to advancing sustainable peace, and participate meaningfully in inclusive and responsive governance systems.

Mercy Corps also works to achieve a real and lasting impact in the world’s toughest humanitarian emergencies. We’ve responded to almost every global natural disaster in the last 20 years, and we’re actively responding to the current emergencies of our time in Gaza, Sudan, Haiti, and Ukraine.
